Dan: Where the hell is Blair? If she didn't want to go to Rome with me she should have just said so.Serena: Something came up.Dan: Is she with Chuck?Serena: No, of course not. She's with Eleanor. But she knows how important this is and she really wants to go. So she sent me in her place.Dan: You're not really helping.Serena: I don't know. He just said we made an interesting couple.Dan: Not in a good way.

Dan: You don't think this is too much? I mean it's just an interview with one person.Blair: Well we want to impress him, right?Dan: I think they're just trying to make sure we're a sane, stable couple. I guess they've had some trouble in the past. Apparently Padma Lakshmi and Salman Rushdie broke up during their stay and it caused all kinds of drama.

Chuck: What have you done?Serena: Okay, someone has to tell me what's going on here.Nate: We couldn't let her get away without any consequences. She's done nothing but deceive all of us, including you. It just wasn't right.Lola: Yeah, we're sorry we messed up your deal but this was beyond business. It was personal.Chuck: You have no idea how personal. I made that deal with her so she would help get my father out of hiding.Serena: Your father. You mean Jack.Chuck: Bart. He's alive.

Serena: What was Dan's big surprise?Blair: It was more of an ambush. He got into this writing program in Rome and he wants me to go with him the entire summer.Serena: How dare he! Blair, that's amazing.Blair: I told him I had to check my calendar to buy some time to think.Serena: What's there to think about? Rome for the summer sounds like a dream.Blair: Not for Romans. The whole place will be crawling with Americans.Serena: And you can be two of them.Blair: But it's a big decision. And spending last summer at Louis' side I was hoping to do my own thing.Serena: So your indecision has nothing to do with Chuck?Blair: Absolutely not. My concern for him at this time is about something entirely unrelated.Serena: Which you can't tell me about. B, I hate being out of the loop.

Diana: I don't suppose you came here to thank me.Chuck: Thank you for what? Not telling me my father was alive, pretending to be my mother, or screwing my best friend?Diana: You mean for keeping your father alive. Pretending to be your mother to protect him and, well, I don't expect you to thank me for Nate. Perhaps I should thank you for that one.Chuck: Look, I'm not here to hug it out or bond over my father's resurrection. I just need your help in keeping him here.Diana: I'm afraid that's not possible.Chuck: I'm afraid it is. You've been helping him hide. I think you know who from. Who tried to kill my father? I know it was one of his competitors, someone powerful enough to scare him into hiding these last few years. I just want a name.

Blair: I'm with Chuck.Serena: B.Blair: No it's not like that. He needs me. He's going through an extremely difficult time right now.Serena: Yeah, of course he is. Especially if it means taking you away from Dan to be with him. And you just told me Dan is having trust issues.Blair: I know, but this is life or death.
